[QUOTE="ForceCalibur, post: 1228542, member: 199420"] Got a loaded 15" 2.3ghz Macbook Pro today with the High Resolution Anti-glare screen. As I expected, the system with the 5400RPM disk is not as responsive overall as my Macbook Air. Once an application is loaded, it's faster (such as web page rendering). What I wasn't expecting however was the screen.. not as great looking as the 13" Macbook Air. The Air has worse Delta E (color accuracy) but is much more vivid, whiter and darker (better contrast), making it is stunning display while the Pro is almost disappointing. What I loved was that Time Machine was able to turn my Macbook Air (which I'm in the process of selling) backup and put it straight onto the new Macbook Pro as if nothing changed at all. It has just about every setting, file and configuration that my Air has now, all without fuss. I did have to reconfigure some system settings and iTunes authorizations, but I'm loving this new feature (won't be using it when I get Lion and an SSD but very useful otherwise). [/QUOTE]
